IT professional here with 20+ years work experience. Not once have I ever met another tech that liked Apple. Personally, I despise them. Unintuitive locked down garbage that can’t do anything a PC can’t do for half the price. And yes, I have seen viruses on Macs.

They’re just really good at advertising to people who don’t understand technology.

I have the video saved on my phone so I can watch it whenever I’m feeling down.

I actively avoid purchasing games that don’t allow client hosting. And I generally try to avoid games that matchmake. I’m tired of shitty matchmaking. I’m tired of corporate hosted lobbies. I’m tired of getting kicked out after each match and having to matchmake with an entirely different group of players.

Give me dedicated client hosted servers. Let us form relationships with other players by playing in the same servers on a regular basis. Gaming is more fun that way.

Streamers are like a Biblical plague.

Let’s take a bunch of dropouts with absolutely no credentials and have them be stewards of information to millions of people.

It’s wild that the “land of the free, home of the brave” let a bunch of incel basement dwelling grifter losers take over and tank the nation.

With the behavior of modern Christians the guy would probably beg to be put back in.

Mine has a smile on their face as long as they can overcharge me for not helping me.

Which is every single time.

Not sure “smashing” is the right term for 5%.

Come.

Let me show you the 9th level of hell called “Help Desk”.

Welp.

Lemmy open on one monitor. Jira open on the other.

So this tracks.

I pray for the apocalypse so I never have to look at a fucking ticket queue again. It’s a neverending list of other people’s problems I have to rapid fire solve.

Reminder that during the entirety of Biden’s 4 year term we saw job growth. Now we’ve seen 5 straight months of job loss under child rapist Donald Trump.

Thanks Biden.

I absolutely love the idea of only referring to him as Tim Apple for the rest of his sad life.

This guy’s such a pushover wimp he let a pedophile permanently change his name. A pedophile he has prostrated himself to.

These days I drug my cares away.

Better looking. Undoubtedly more intelligent.

Never have. Never will.

I mean, is it not apparent at this point?

If you watch someone do the thing where they step on a rake and hit themselves in the face more than once, you have to accept the reality that they’re probably stupid.

Americans have stepped on the rake a lot more than once.

Does this dipshit realize he’ll never be safe in public again? Probably anywhere on Earth.

And I don’t think he gets lifetime tax payer funded Secret Service protection like America is prepared to give a felon rapist pedophile.

Welp.

Orwell warned us.

It’s kind of crazy that we’re already kind of there. I find myself constantly thinking about how I’m most likely being recorded at any given time I’m not at home. Even at home until I put my foot down and told my girlfriend her Ring cameras inside the house were to be put away unless we were on vacation.

And I’m old enough to remember when this feeling of being watched all the time was not a thing. I know it helps solve a lot of crimes, but honestly, I don’t care. I don’t think it’s worth it to live in a surveillance state.

Also, I’m a nudist. I go to nude resorts/beaches. People are going to be wearing these fucking things now and then uploading the video to the internet. NOT OK. Like, there’s an unspoken rule among nudists not to have phones out, and if someone does, people will confront them about it. But you can’t really protect against hidden fucking cameras in sunglasses.

I’m so tired of all this.

It grinds your gears that people don’t do what you want, doesn’t it?

Have you tried letting people use whatever the fuck browser they want?

I use Brave selectively. I don’t know about ads. I don’t get ads. I don’t know about donations. It’s never asked me for donations and doesn’t have the info necessary to charge me without me knowing. A little more info on that one would be nice as I’m not really sure what you’re talking about.

To be honest, I kind of don’t care. If I was super adamant about being 100% politically/morally correct I wouldn’t use any product, ever. I don’t pay for it and I don’t feel like it’s taken advantage of me. So I’m going to keep on using it sporadically like I do now.

For reference, I only use it in private window mode.
